Glasgow has launched its bid to host the 2035 FIFA Women’s World Cup

Glasgow has launched a bid to host football matches during the 2035 FIFA Women’s World Cup.

Hampden, Celtic Park and IBROX are all capable of hosting games for the tournament, which is expected to see 48 teams take part.

FIFA will make a decision on the UK’s bid – the only bid to host the tournament – in April 2026.

This will then decide the final selection of 14 and 16 host cities in 2030.

Other cities hoping to host include Leeds, Birmingham and Nottingham.

Glassgow councilors have been asked to return the bid, which will be presented to the City Administration Committee on Thursday.

They are recommended to agree that responsibility for delivering the event will be given to Glasgow Life, which runs the council’s sports operation.

Glasgow City Council committed to spending £6.2M to host the competition.

The UK government has pledged to cover 60% of the costs and the Scottish government will cover 15%.

The council’s bid papers said: “Klasgow has the opportunity to be one of the host cities for the FIFA Women’s World Cupters (HampDen, IBROX and CELTIX PARK).

“As the National Football Stadium, HampDen is expected to be a first option put forward, although the choice of stadium is ultimately a FIDA decision.”

If successful, Glasgow should also propose two “central and iconic locations” suitable to play FIFA FIDTIVINGS AS A YEAR TO TEST THE PROOFS OF PAVEPONS AS AS CHALLA Entertainment.

The papers added:

“The construction of a pipeline of football events is the key to developing its success, the development of participation and audiences through events and activation of the lead, including Euro 2028.”

The tournament will take place over 39 days.

It has previously seen 32 teams compete. However, FIFA recently indicated that from 2031 it will increase to 48 teams.

Glasgow Life and the Scottish Football Association have been contacted for comment.
